About this place
Lages sits in the highlands of Santa Catarina, earning its reputation as the National Capital of Rural Tourism. The city offers a genuine slice of countryside life where visitors can step into the rhythm of working farms — milking cows, tasting traditional mountain cuisine, and enjoying a slower pace far removed from Brazil's coastal bustle. Its location on major highways also makes it an accessible stop for road-trippers exploring the south.
